The members of Green Thumbs are dedicated to inspiring growth within communities through the hands-on experience of gardening.
Preston students can engage in horticulture to experience the fun and sense of responsibility that comes from nurturing our environment. We are stewards of community areas including two vegetable plots (affectionately named Kale Yeah and Mint to Be), our backyard of beautiful flowers, and a meditation garden that brings a sense of peace to Preston residents.
Lauren Garrett is a sophomore Chemical Engineering major from Mount Pleasant, SC. Lauren enjoys music, volleyball, gardening, and reading. She is excited to be a returning member of the Preston community this year. Last year, she was a member of Green Thumbs, a gardening club within Preston, and this year, she is proud to be co-president of the club. Lauren is thrilled to meet all of the new residents and get to know them!
